The vi editor is a very distinct part of UNIX ideology.

It  cannot be avoided if you are a serious hacker.

Several low level utilities use vi.

Of course there is ed which is even more low level.

vipw, crontab -e all use vi

You simply cannot escape it.

Of course I am talking about real UNIX which nobody in LUG seems to know.

They only know Ubuntu, Redhat or Suse or some commercial Linux meant
 for beginners.
